Tyler Herro Misses Practice on Thursday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (illness) was unable to suit up for practice on Thursday. He's listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Los Angeles Lakers. Justise Winslow (back) and Goran Dragic (groin) have already been ruled out for that one. Kendrick Nunn would likely be asked to play minutes in the 40s if […]

Goran Dragic Remains Out on Friday

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (groin) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. This marks the sixth game in a row that Dragic has missed due to a groin issue. It doesn't sound like he's made much progress, so the Heat could be without him for a few more games. […]

Justise Winslow Ruled Out Against Lakers

Miami Heat guard Justise Winslow (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He missed three weeks earlier in the season due to a concussion. Winslow is going to miss his fourth straight game due to a lower back strain on Friday. He's giving fantasy owners headaches, but Winslow is […]

Andre Drummond is Questionable on Thursday

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond (eye) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He's dealing with left eye inflammation, but it normally takes a lot to get Drummond to sit out. Markieff Morris and Christian Wood will split up the minutes if Drummond is out. Wood is a better streaming option […]

Jusuf Nurkic Could Return Around All-Star Break

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (leg) is looking to get back on the court around the All-Star break in February. The Blazers will ease Nurkic back into the rotation, so he won't be a great fantasy option right away. Hassan Whiteside is most likely going to stick in the starting five. Nurkic isn't much […]

Nicolas Batum is Doubtful on Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward Nicolas Batum (hand) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He's been dealing with left hand discomfort since the beginning of December. Miles Bridges and PJ Washington should see more minutes with Batum and Marvin Williams (knee) likely both sidelined on Friday. Washington is looking like the better […]

Marvin Williams Ruled Out Against Bulls

Charlotte Hornets forward Marvin Williams (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Miles Bridges and PJ Washington will see increased playing time, especially with Nicolas Batum (hand) doubtful for Friday as well. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist has been back in the rotation lately, but will lose most of his minutes once Williams […]

Ja Morant Will Sit Versus Bucks

Memphis Grizzlies guard JA Morant (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Grizzlies have a back-to-back set this weekend, so they will rest Morant for at least the first game. Tyus Jones and De'Anthony Melton will split up the minutes at point guard on Friday. Melton is the better […]

Brandon Clarke Ruled Out for Friday

Memphis Grizzlies center Brandon Clarke (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He was able to return on Wednesday, but the Grizzlies don't want to push him too hard. Jonas Valanciunas, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Bruno Caboclo will split up the extra minutes. Valanciunas is the best fantasy option out […]

Avery Bradley Will Be Limited on Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Avery Bradley (leg) will be limited off the bench during Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will draw another start, while Bradley gets 15 minutes off the bench in this one. The Lakers are going to ease Bradley back into the rotation. He should get around 20-25 minutes once […]

Marvin Bagley is Probable for Wednesday

Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley (thumb) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He has been sidelined since opening night, so the Kings are excited to get Bagley back in their rotation. Richaun Holmes has been playing well, so we'll see what kind of hit his value takes going forward. […]

Rajon Rondo Might Sit Against Magic

Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. Rondo is dealing with a strained left hamstring, so the team is going to be cautious with him. There's a good chance that they have Rondo sit this one out. Alex Caruso, Quinn Cook and Troy Daniels […]

Nikola Vucevic Could Return on Friday

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. However, head coach Steve Clifford said that there's a chance Vucevic gets cleared for Friday's game. He's been making solid progress and was able to get through shootaround on Wednesday. Khem Birch and Mohamed Bamba are going […]

Nicolas Batum is Doubtful for Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets forward Nicolas Batum (hand) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Batum left after 12 minutes during Tuesday's game due to left hand discomfort. The Hornets won't host a shootaround with this contest being the second game of a back-to-back set. Malik Monk and Dwayne Bacon will benefit, assuming […]

Fred VanVleet is Out for Wednesday

Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. This marks the second game in a row that Vanvleet has missed due to a right knee issue. Vanvleet has been playing big minutes all season, so this could be for rest as well. Norman Powell is […]

Derrick Favors Will Remain Out on Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Derrick Favors (personal) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Favors has returned to the team after basically missing a month of action. The team wants him to get into some practices before clearing him to play again. Jaxson Hayes and Jahlil Okafor will continue to benefit […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Won't Play Against Pelicans

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (quad) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The Bucks aren't going to push their superstar too hard and will give him the night off against the struggling Pelicans. Antetokounmpo should be fine for the back-to-back set this weekend, so fantasy owners shouldn't be worried. […]

Kyle Kuzma Ruled Out for Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. Kuzma has been dealing with a left ankle issue since late November. The team doesn't believe it's a huge issue, but they want to give him a chance to rest here. Danny Green will likely benefit the […]

Markelle Fultz is Questionable for Wednesday

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. It sounds like he's dealing with flu-like symptoms, so Fultz might sit this one out. D.J. Augustin would see all the minutes he can handle as the starting point guard without Fultz available. Michael Carter-Williams would get […]

Coby White Should Play Against Hawks

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (hamstring) is available for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He was listed as probable for Monday's game, but ended up playing 30 minutes. However, White was unable to score during his time on the court. He'll likely continue to see consistent playing time, but he's been up and down […]

Zach LaVine is Probable on Wednesday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (back, shoulder) is available for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. It appears LaVine is dealing with some minor injuries, but it doesn't sound like he's going to sit out. Fantasy owners should expect him to be in the starting five on Wednesday. He has a favorable matchup against the […]

Eric Paschall Should Play on Wednesday

Golden State Warriors forward Eric Paschall (hip) believes he'll be able to suit up for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. He's listed as questionable, but it sounds like Paschall will be out there unless he suffers a setback. Fantasy owners will have to check back closer to tip-off for more information.

Marcus Smart is Ruled Out for Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (eye, illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. This marks the second game in a row that Smart will miss because of these issues. Getting Gordon Hayward back has helped a lot with the loss of Smart. Hayward is basically going to take over Smart's […]

Goran Dragic Remains Out on Tuesday

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (groin) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. This will be the fifth game in a row that Dragic has missed. It doesn't appear he's making much progress at the moment. Tyler Herro and Kendrick Nunn will benefit the most from the loss of Dragic. Both […]

Justise Winslow Will Sit Against Hawks

Miami Heat guard Justise Winslow (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. This marks the third game in a row that Winslow has missed due to a lower back strain. Tyler Herro, Kendrick Nunn, and Derrick Jones will benefit in the absence of Winslow. Fantasy owners who are holding Winslow […]

Damion Lee is Probable for Wednesday

Golden State Warriors forward Damion Lee (hand) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. However, Lee was questionable for Monday's game and ended up sitting out. It sounds like he's close to being ready to play after missing a month of action due to a right hand issue. He'll likely […]

Robert Williams Ruled Out for Wednesday

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He's dealing with left hip soreness and getting ruled out a full day in advance is not a good sign. Fantasy owners could be looking at Williams missing a few more games. Daniel Theis and Enes Kanter will […]

Marcus Smart is Questionable for Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (eye) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He missed Monday's game due to an eye infection, but is expected to return on Wednesday. Fantasy owners will have a better idea about Smart after Wednesday's shootaround. Carsen Edwards won't see much playing time once Smart is […]

Kent Bazemore Will Remain in the Starting Five

Portland Trail Blazers guard Kent Bazemore will get his second start against the New York Knicks on Tuesday, according to head coach Terry Stotts. Rodney Hood (Achilles) is done for the season, so Bazemore is likely going to take over his spot in the starting five. He saw 36 minutes on Sunday, but managed just […]

Bam Adebayo Should Be Fine for Tuesday

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (groin) has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He was listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Bulls due to a groin issue. Adebayo dropped 21 points and 13 rebounds during his 40 minutes against the Bulls. It doesn't appear that this groin issue […]
